Male Cat Names

Ozzy has been on the rise in recent years and currently sits in the Top 1000 in the UK and the US. The Ozzie spelling has yet to catch up, but has nevertheless gained more attention thanks to its popular counterpart. In England and Wales, it features at the latter end of the charts, while in the US, it was given to 123 boys (and to 40 girls) in a recent count. Ozzy, but contrast, was chosen for 548 boys. 
 Derived from the Old English element os meaning "God" or "divine", or from the Irish oss meaning "deer", Ozzie has been used as a short form for oldy-worldy Osmond and Oswald, for popular Oscar, and for the Biblical Ozias.
